Bigger than I thought
This sword was my first of many purchases here, and I was so happy when it came. It's a big, heavy two-hander, with blunted edges. The tip, however, makes quick work of cardboard. The way the guard is designed makes fingering easy, allowing even greater control of the blade. The scabbard is a work of art in and of itself. Now, when mine came, the little metal band had slid off, exposing a spot of glue on the otherwise flawless flat black wooden scabbard. After a little superglue though, it seems good as new. I don't believe I'm doing the sheath justice, as this sword looks just as amazing within the scabbard as it does drawn. But let's talk a little more about the blade. It's a little forward heavy for some tastes, but for chopping people up, and for an anime sword, I think the physics are fine. Speaking of anime, the reason I bought this blade was because I've seen the foam version of this sword in my friends' house, and I thought they'd like the steel version a little better. They love it. An amazing replica.

Great sword for the price but not a weapon more of a display sword. Giggles if you hit it against something. Great for costplay and for SAO fans.

Very Pleased
I love the sword. I received this as a Christmas present, and I'm still just as excited that I have it today. Good balance, nice weight, and the details are all clean and correct. The scabbard is so-so, but that doesn't take away from the blade.

Awsome sword
Awesome sword, looks just like it does in the anime. The blade is a little loose, but it is just a wall hanger. Great sword!

Good Sword
The sword itself is great. It has a nice weight and is balanced really well. It was almost a week early. There were only two things wrong with it. The scabbard has no place to be hung on my back. Anyone who buys this for cosplay be warned. The other thing wrong is that little gray ring on the scabbard is not secured well. I think it was only glued on because, while taking the sword out of the wrappings, it fell right off. A little glue would have it set to right but it is still a concern. The scabbard needs work but the sword is PERFECT!!!!!

Extremely well made.
For $60 I was not expecting much from this sword, but when it arrived those expectations were essentially thrown out the window. Immediately out of the box I could tell this was a well made sword. The centers of percussion are correct, the balance is much better than expected, and the overall quality of craftsmanship far exceeds what I had expected. I will absolutely be shopping here again.

Great quality
I love this sword, very few places can you find such well made sao swords, I've seen many, but never this well made. The Price is remarkable as well, the cheapest sword I could find on sites like eBay and Craigslist that have the sword listed at $150+! This is my first time buying and will be buying another one of your swords in the near future.

coating was aweful!
Sword was great but you could obviously tell the stainless steel coating wasn't done well. Especially around the hilt of the sword around 50% of the metal was missed with the coating showing a very unappealing rainbow rust looking color. the sword was well made to be sure but the attention to detail was mediocre at best. Hopefully they will honor the return policy because it does show great potential but could be a lot better of a sword.

Great.
it was well above what I expected to get, really well made if your not looking for a fighting piece. The blade has NO edge but is well made enough you could use it to defend yourself. Felt a bit heavy at first but without hitting things I can swing both it and the "blue repeller" around accurately. So, dual wielding would be possible completely with these.
